Binderton, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18

Ox Barn is a substantial agricultural barn and group of outbuildings on approximately 1.83 acres at Binderton, within the South Downs National Park. Approved plans provide for a five-bedroom main house of about 4,144 sq ft and a separate one-bedroom annexe of approximately 893 sq ft, giving around 5,037 sq ft in total. The property is offered as a conversion project rather than a completed home. The proposed main house is arranged over two floors. Plans include a large open-plan kitchen, dining and informal living area opening to a courtyard patio, alongside a separate sitting room and study. The ground floor is also planned to include two en suite bedrooms, one with a dressing room, as well as an entrance hall, utility room and cloakroom. Upstairs, the principal suite is designed with a dressing area, bathroom and courtyard-facing terrace, with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Across the courtyard, the proposed annexe has an open-plan kitchen and living space, one en suite bedroom and an adjoining store for garden, refuse and bicycle equipment. The scheme combines timber cladding, flint and extensive glazing while retaining the agricultural character of the buildings. The grounds include an enclosed courtyard, a long approach drive and parking area. Binderton is a rural hamlet north of Chichester, with access to the countryside and Centurion Way, a walking and cycling route linking the area with Chichester, Lavant and West Dean. Chichester provides shops, restaurants, cultural venues and leisure facilities. The surrounding area also offers country walks, gardens, sporting facilities and access to the coast.
